A Little Rebellion Now
The winner of the 2004 Next Generation Playwrights' Contest, Lisa Voss, has a new play that's opened in Washington. Presented by the Venus Theatre Company, "A Little Rebellion Now" is about DC statehood activists who form an uneasy alliance with IMF-World Bank protestors and attempt to secede from the Union. Branded as "terrorists," the rebels soon find themselves facing down armed US soldiers but resolve to stand their ground, asking the rest of the nation, Without the right to rebel, are we really free?
DC Metro Action is published by Michael Schlesinger, a 32-year veteran of electoral and issue organizing who is committed to social justice and to increasing participation in the political process.
